Led by 2021 All-American Elliot Singer and senior Kendall Accetta, the 22^nd-ranked Colorado College women's cross country team placed seventh among 25 Division III teams at the prestigious Augustana College Invitational Saturday morning in Rock Island, Ill.
 
Singer paced the Tigers with a 23^rd-place individual finish, covering the 6K course in a time of 21:59.5. Accetta was close behind, finishing 25^th in 22:02.6.
 
The Tigers finished the meet with 204 points, just ahead of 18^th-ranked Calvin University with 205 and No. 11 Hope College, which finished 10^th with 218. SCAC foe Trinity University placed 13^th (356 points). The six teams that finished ahead of Colorado College are all currently ranked in the top 26 in the nation, including four in the top 10. Kassie Parker of Loras College won the individual title with a time of 20:00.1.
 
Senior Clare Quinn (22:27.1) and junior Jane Mallach (22:38.4) finished 42^nd and 53^rd, respectively, while freshman Alison Mueller-Hickler, the final scoring runner for the Tigers, placed 66^th with a time of 22:49.3.
 
"Our team just keeps getting better every meet," head coach Alex Nichols said. "Having eight runners under 23:00 is fantastic. I think this result will send notice that the CC Tigers are ready to compete at the national level."
 
The Tigers return to action on Saturday, Oct. 29, at the SCAC Championship Meet in Georgetown, Texas.
